The Oatmeal perfectly sums up my relationship with running.  Well, mine also includes zombies, but otherwise, this is it.

Remember all those flags in The Force Awakens?  They were inspired by the old Expanded Universe.

I’m still a bit wary of the Rocky Horror reboot, but at least Tim Curry will be in it, as the criminologist narrator.

A whole bunch of private, Christian colleges accept federal funding, but then request permission to discrimination against LGBT students.

That’s it for now, have a great one!
